Ha!

I admit I never would've thunk of eggs as dairy, but my internal jury is still out on the pineapples as not citrus thing.

I liked the irony.

Why, what does 'glatt' mean? Is he Jewish?

(Was that an offensive question? I don't know any of this stuff.)

It's an old nickname. It means "smooth." I'm not Jewish or smooth. But glatt's some sort of strict dietary thing for Jews. Like kosher but more more so.

My name has nothing to do with that. But it's spelled the same.

Shawnee123 · 01-26-2011, 11:12 AM

Oh, thanks.

Smoooooooth!

We had a phone directory in college and my nickname of "smooth" was so well known, a lot of people didn't know my real name. So I put two entries in the directory. One with my real name, and one under smooth. glatt was a variation on smooth cause I was taking German.

(this was a snooty college with single rooms for upperclassmen, so many people got their own phones each year.)

Glatt kosher is like REALLY kosher, with a rabbi present and everything.

I'm not Jewish, but if you can hum a few bars I can fake it ...

My best friend in high school was Jewish. I spent a lot of time with his family. I learned enough kasruth (kosher laws) so that I was trusted to house and cat sit and not mix up the dishes and silverware.

We had phones in our dorm rooms in college. I thought we were so state of the art, not having to use a common payphone.

But we had roommates, unless we paid extry!

What was my nickname....hmmmm, yeah, maybe I didn't have one. Ahem. No really, I didn't have one!

Glatt = Smoove B ?

Eggs are not dairy and pineapples are not citrus. What is wrong with you people? lol

monster · 01-26-2011, 09:29 PM

Shall we start the "do carrots belong in Jello" argument now?

Aliantha · 01-26-2011, 09:34 PM
